Since the waste for your facility or home is all being contained and filtered by an onsite system, you don’t have the benefits of having the local government manage everything for you. Routine maintenance is highly recommended, and septic tank pumping is a great way to clear out your system and get everything running smoothly and efficiently again.

So, you’ve scheduled your routine septic tank pumping service. It’s nothing new, right? If you are like many home and business owners, you know this is a service that you need to schedule every three to five years, so you stick to the routine without asking questions. However, have you ever taken the time to ask your septic company what’s involved with septic tank pumping and what you should expect from your septic system as a whole? Here is a brief list of what you can expect from septic tank pumping at your home or business:

1. Your septic tank holds wastewater that has been sent away from your home through your drain pipes. Once your septic tank receives this wastewater, it quickly divides into solids, water, and oils/fats.
2. In order to prevent these solid layers from filling your tank over time (potentially causing backups and damage), septic tank pumping clears the sludge and scum from your tank that is unable to filter into your drain field.
3. Your septic company should provide a detailed list of the actions they completed during your septic tank pumping, including how many gallons were removed, which compartments were pumped, the condition of your tank and the other parts, and the details of any work that needed to be done.
